    Napansin ko lang sa mga ads ng house rentals, bibihira yung fully furnished katulad dito sa SG. Pano ang ginawa nyo pagdating dyan? Bumili na lang ba kayo ng mga gamit? Mura lang ba dyan mga gamit sa bahay? Or nagtyaga muna kayo sa mga basic things like bed/mattress, basic kitchen utensils, etc.?

    Para sa mga nsa WA esp. Mandurah, mura na ba yung landed houses na may $250-350 weekly rental?
    Bumili kami ng ng mura at Basic .. :)

    pero ngayon pinapalitan na namin unti unti ng mejo magaganda :D

    san nyo po ba balak mag trabaho? kung sa Sydney CBD nyo balak mag trabaho eh medyo malayo yung Rooty Hill. Sa safety naman eh relatively safe kahit saan dito sa Sydney although me mga lugar na mas mataas crime rate sa iba. I google nyo yung suburb profile at crime rate malalaman nyo ang statistics nung lugar.

    Pero kung mas taasan nyo pa budget nyo eh pwede kayong sa mas malapit sa trabaho mag rent kasi malaking tipid sa travel time - time is gold ika nga ni Pong Pagong.

    Tsaka kahit maraming Pinoy eh wag yun gawin nyong deciding factor dahil maiistorbo lang kayo maaaya lang kayo sa mga bible study, pabasa o kursilyo o karaoke hahaha!

    Medyo mahal ang saging sa Rooty Hill at malayo sa kangkungan ng Kumpare nyang si Pong Pagong kaya no comment si Kiko Matsing.

    though wala pa ako AUS

    i chose AUS kasi family oriented to para sa little boy ko at saka para naman hindi mamulat sa kagayang sistema nang pinas yung anak ko...

    one less patriotic Filipino na ako currently andito ako SG...2 years and counting...

    wala ako sinasabihan nang plans ko ultimo mga close friends ko sa bahay na kasama ko na for 15 years kasi sila single pa ako may anak na so parang ayoko kasing ako nanamang magsilbing bridgeway at magspoon feed sa kanila nang success...

    gusto ko mamulat din mga kaibigan ko na hindi kami permanente sa SG at pass holders lang kami anytime soon maaring isa samen hindi marerenew at walang naipon babalik kaba sa pinas?...

    kaya ayaw ko magpayo na wag msayado bili nang bili o ano sana magtipid...ewan ko ano future plans nila pero ayun nga..nagiinvest ako sa future nang family ko...

    ako ayoko bumalik kungdi nalang dahil sa parents ko...liban dun...SG para saken home ko na...once nakalatag ako AUS yung transition ieembrace ko kagaya nang ginawa ko dito...kahit andito ako SG hindi pa ako nakaramdam na nagyayabang ako o ano...pansin ko kasi sa iba mapa turista o ano...anyabang dito sa SG

    ayoko na din maulit sa anak ko story ko na OFW ako at sobrang hirap nang uphill battle ko...gusto ko maging well off sila...pagdating nang panahon at maraming family memories...gawa nang work life balance nang AUS...

    overall family oriented, bike lane at yung kakayanang makabili nang auto mga simpleng gusto ko sa AUS hehehe..: )

    I haven't lost everything except my mind...

    This is a nice thread. The reason why ako na hook up sa pinoyau and malimit ko binabasa to motivate me sa pag pursue ng Australian life.

    Well bakit Australia ulit. For the future of my family and para sama2 na kami. My first choice is Canada but for some unfortunate events eh hindi natuloy kahit i managed to get a job there. Maybe, my destiny is really sa Australia. Maybe not, at malasin na naman but anyway waiting nlang ako ng CO at the moment and sobrang malas ko na tlaga pag hindi pa ako natuloy.

    Ilang buwan nlang at mag 5 years na ako dito sa SG. When i first landed here during early 2009 i was so impressed. Sobrang linis and organised. Its like youre in a big golf course. May work na ako pagdating dito and the Company provided me with accomodation for two weeks, relocation allowance equivalent to 2 months of my salary (pero may tali ng 2 years) and reimbursed my airfare. Food is everywhere pagbaba mo ng hdb, konting lakad lang may madaanan kang hawkers. May mga ilan ilan din pinoy restaurants so parang nasa pinas ka din. Internet is very fast pinakamababa na yta sa mga natirahan ko is 16mbps. Most of my friends 100mbps (well mostly kasi gamers but i think affordable pa rin). Sobrang laki ng difference ng sweldo ko dito as compared sa pinas. My gross is more than 5 times n salary ko sa pinas. Yung isang buwan na naitabi ko is hindi ko tlaga literally naipon sa 5 taon kong pagtatrabaho sa pinas. Break even lang kasi ako halos dun and kahit nagtatrabaho ako sa pinakamalaking audit firm sa pinas sa ayala makati, naka long sleeves at naka necktie eh maliit lang sweldo at madalas sa jolijeep lang ako kumakain. Dito ko naranasan sa SG na bumili ng mga branded na gamit from clothes to bags to laptop to gadgets. Ang dami2 kasi dito at hindi nagpapahuli ang sg pagdating sa mga ganyan bagay. Dito din ako natuto mgluto kasi kakaumay din puro hawkers. Kahit na ako lang nagwowork and tumigil ang wife ko plus nagsusuport ako sa grandparents ko kayang kaya parin ng sweldo ko. Kasi nga ako lang nman mag isa sa sg so maliit lang kain ng accomodation at ibang cost. Kung sasama ko wife ko at mag rent kami ng unit at ako lang magwork eh mukhang wala din kasi matitira may binabayran pa kasi kami property sa pinas. Kung kasiyahan lang, ok na ok dito sa sg. Mageenjoy ka tlaga dito kung single ka at gimikero. Huhulihin ka dito sa simpleng pagtatapon ng upos n yosi pero may red light district sila at nagkalat ang bars/disco/massage parlors etc. i remember an ex-housemate na madalas manalo sa casino and madalas magyaya kung saan2. Madalas isang gabi nya lang mapapanalunan yung sweldo nya sa isang buwan pero kalimitan din nauuwi sya sa cup noodles.

    Fast forward, after 3 years, things changed. Parang nagbabago na ang pananaw ko sa stay ko sg. Kasabay pa nun nagkababy kami. Yung dating efficient transpo, eh madalas siksikan ng tao nakikita ko. Sa liit ng singapore parang nakita ko na lahat, tuwing may company party or kakilala na dadalaw same same lang nman ang pasyalan. Parang di na mabilang ung beses na nakarating ako ng sentosa/zoo/uss/etc. Sa office namin parang sobrang aga ko na pagnakauwi ako ng 7pm. Matandang dalaga kasi boss ko at araw2 eh 10pm na umuuwi at pumapasok pa n weekends. Kahit di sabihin ramdam ko na iniiexpect nya na magstay din ako sa office. Applied sg pr pero denied. Ok nman work ko at credentials pero bakit ganun. Panget lang tlaga cguro timing ko or in general ayaw na nila sa pinoy at sobrang dami na. Kahit nsaan ka halos dito may pinoy ka makikita. Pero i think kahit maging pr ako parang di ito ang place kung saan ako magtatagal.

    Thats where migration come into the picture. I want 360 change in my environment and everything.Parang wala ng bago araw2. Pera nlang tlaga reason ko kaya ako nandito. Uwi nlang ba ako ng pinas but my ibang options nman. Nanjan nman ang Australia. Sana tama ang decisions ko and sana maging masaya ako at ang family ko.

    I will be coming from the PH straight after of more than 6 years of experience in IT. Sobrang dami kong napulot sa mga experiences ng mga nagSG, Canada and US. I was also once planning to go to those countries. Now I'm 28 and our PR VISA has been granted. I and my wife will be flying anytime soon. Lalo akong naexcite because I know that we made the right decision while young.

    I just want to thank all the contributors of this thread. Para akong nagbabasa ng pocket book ng buhay-buhay ng bawat Pilipino na bida sa kanikanyang istorya. Something na hindi ko basta mapupulot kung saan-saan. I admire and salute everyone. I hope to be successful in AU someday to be an inspiration to others too. :)
